Default Vararam Install

I just finished the install on the Vararam for my '07 Z and it went smoothly except for the PCV Vent Pipe into the new billet MAF housing. It seems that the threaded coupling that is supplied by Vararam with the MAF housing doesn't accomodate the OEM factory fitting. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, that's normal. A piece of fuel line and clamps will do the trick.

Figured it out. Great performance gain. Was out on the road earlier today outside temps 96 degrees and 78% humidity; AC running full bore; stomped the fun pedal and could feel the 'seat of the pants improvement!' Now for the AR header install at Carlisle and the Vette Dr's tune. Can't wait!

Looks like there will be at least 2 AO vettes at AR in Carlisle this year!
